Workday - April 13
Our First Workday is tomorrow, April 13, from 9:00am-1:00pm.
Bring hats, gloves, water, shovels, etc. We will be preparing the plots for
planting and cleaning up the park.
We want to give a HUGE shout out to Dutch Heritage Gardens for supplying us with a pallet of MoJo Grow soil amendment and some pretty little Pansy's.
Dutch Heritage Gardens sells to wholesalers only, BUT, they have a public sale on Memorial Day Weekend. All are welcome and they have a TON of wonderful plants. Flowers and Veggies. They also sell to King Soopers and Home Depot, so if you're buying flowers there, know that you're helping them grow. THANK YOU, Dutch Heritage Gardens!!
Another thank you to Doug Smith, Sales Manager @ Haulaway. He will take our trash after our workday.
It's people like this that makes our community special!

Get Ready Gardeners!
We will be posting a date for our first meeting soon so keep your eyes peeled!
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend the garden meetings to learn what is happening with our garden and to also share ideas and gardening tips with fellow gardeners.
In the meantime, start thinking if you'd like to participate this year and plan out what you want to grow in your bed. Remember, in a couple of months you can always start growing at home and then transfer the plants later.
We will also be updating the wish list so check it out to see if there's anything you'd like to donate to our wonderful garden.
